Glueballs in the Klebanov-Strassler Theory: Pseudoscalars vs Scalars

Abstract

We discuss the $0^{+-}$ singlet sector of glueballs in the Klebanov-Strassler theory. We report the results of a numerical study of the linearized equations in the Klebanov-Strasller background and make a comparison with the spectrum of the scalar sector. While for four towers of the total six towers of massive pseudoscalar states our results match the spectrum of the corresponding towers of scalars, the values for the remaining two towers diverge with those of the scalars. We discuss possible interpretations of this divergence.
